🔧 Trailer Jack Drill Adapter – Turn Your Drill Into a Power Jack

Still cranking by hand?

Sixty to a hundred turns to lift the tongue. The same again to set it down. In July heat, in January cold, with the trailer loaded, at the end of a long day. Your shoulder keeps count even when you don’t.

The MENDTIDE adapter pins on where your crank handle was and turns the cordless drill you already own into a power jack. Pull the trigger and the jack runs up or down in seconds. No wiring. No new jack. No electric unit to buy and wire in.

• ✓Works with the cordless drill you already own
• ✓Pins on in under a minute. No tools, no wiring
• ✓Three sizes to fit 1/2, 3/4 and 1 in drive shafts
• ✓304 stainless steel, built to ride in your truck through rain, mud and road salt

Crank off. Adapter on. Drill.

Under a minute the first time. Ten seconds every time after: the adapter stays on the jack.

Will it fit? Check your jack in 10 seconds.

Most adapters come in one size, and that’s where the “doesn’t fit my jack” reviews come from. Trailer jack shafts come in three common sizes, so we make three. Pull the crank handle, measure across the bare shaft with a tape measure or caliper, and pick the match.

Go by the measurement, not the weight rating. Not for scissor jacks or electric jacks.

Built to outlast the jack.

Cheap adapters get welded together from two pieces and run loose on the shaft. Owners report them wobbling, wearing the pin hole oval, and snapping at the weld. Ours is built the way a tool should be:

• ✓304 stainless steel. Shrugs off rain, mud and road salt in the bed of your truck.
• ✓Precision bore. Snug on the shaft, so there’s no wobble and no slop.
• ✓Locking clevis pin with R-clip. Stays put under load. A spare clip is in the box.
• ✓Three pin positions. One lines up with the hole in your shaft.
• ✓Hex-shank drill bit included. Fits any drill chuck, with a 1/2 in square drive on the business end.

Dead battery? Loaded trailer? You’re not stuck.

The top of the adapter is a standard 1/2 in square drive, the same as your socket set. Use the drill for everyday speed. Use a ratchet for fine control when you’re lining up the ball on your own. Use a breaker bar for the last turns on a heavy load, or when the battery’s flat and the charger’s at home.

Ratchet and breaker bar not included.

Four rules that protect your jack and your wrist.

• 1Drill only. No impact drivers or impact wrenches. The hammering can damage the jack’s gears.
• 2Low speed, clutch on. Gear 1 and a mid clutch setting. An 18V or 20V drill is recommended.
• 3Ease off at the end. Slow down near the end of travel. A sudden stop can twist your wrist.
• 4Heavy load? Finish the last turns with a ratchet or breaker bar.
